THE LOCATION

“The Biblioteca Angelica is located in Rome, in Piazza Sant’Agostino, near Piazza Navona. Opened in 1604, it’s considered at a European level, together with the Biblioteca Ambrosiana of Milan and the Biblioteca Bodleiana of Oxford, as one of the first and clearest examples of public library, an institution created with the clear intent of providing access to books to a community of readers as wide as possible”.

The Biblioteca provides a wide gallery that periodically hosts art exhibitions of high level. The centrality of its location, together with its history, makes it one of the most coveted touristic destinations of the city.

THE EXHIBITION

In the chaos of the world, art is silence. It does not escape, but landing: a place where thoughts are relaxed and time expands. In art quiet is not absence but listening deep. It is an intimate space where chaos finds shape, where the elusive it be intuited.

In a world that accelerates, art teaches us to stay!
